*******Pure Musical Ecstasy That Comes Straight From A Dream*******

If you’re already a fan of the Hiders then you will surely love this entire CD... following in the path of Valentine the gang has kept moving their musical creativity forward. And if you’re not familiar then this is a great CD to listen to so that you can experience how great and enjoyable music can really be. While I feel weird seeing that they are labeled as rock, I find it always a challenge to label such a band as the Hiders. I would feel the best way to describe them is as a country band with a mix of early rock and roll that has the beat of soul music (which is very noticeable in the melodies of both the guitar and bass) along with a twist of psychedelic... more psychedelic in sound when they play live. Included in this CD are several slow songs that are guaranteed to be a hit with you and your significant other, such as "Feel Like I Love You". Overall they have a great blend of soft and energetic songs that will please most of your moods for years to come. Penny Harvest Field is a CD that you will cherish for many years of your life and always find yourself listening to, regardless of where you find yourself to be in life.
